I think despite that she’s had a great career in WWE. Wikipedia has her as a 4 time Women’s Champion in WWE and that isn’t even counting NXT. She alap currently is one half of the tag champs.

Again, I’m not comparing her to Nia. This is just a general commentary on Asuka in WWE.

I didn't mean it to promote Asuka or anything. Rhea was never losing the title before Mania and I think this was just a match to showcase her in front of a stadium crowd in her home country. I just meant it would be nice if they had someone on the roster who could make Rhea look like a million bucks and take the loss. A role that guys like Ziggler were great at.
